Your big-day blooms are a great way of incorporating your chosen theme or colour scheme, and they look amazing in those all-important photographs. To help give you heaps of inspiration, we’ve asked local florists to send in their top seasonal tips. www.philspix.co.uk and www.elegance-en-fleurs.co.uk “Dried flowers are a huge trend right now. For a long time, couples have had to choose between fresh or artificial flowers but preserved versions mean you can keep them in your home as decorations long after the big day. They need very little maintenance, and by keeping them dry and out of direct sunlight, they will last around three years.” – Jen from Adamapple. “Long gone are the days of brittle, colourless flowers collecting dust in your kitchen. Welcome glorious luxury blooms dried and preserved to create stunning masterpieces. Whether you’re dreaming of a boho, industrial-chic or country garden wedding, these will suit almost every style. The preserved rose stems that we use in our bouquets look and feel like a fresh rose, so you can have your cake and eat it too!” – Jen from Adamapple. www.adamapple.co.uk www.adamapple.co.uk www.adamapple.co.uk www.flowersbyjemmaholmes.co.uk www.flowersbyjemmaholmes.co.uk FLOWERS 53
